This is the weird part. A mod went on fox news, the interview went sideways, and now the sub is locked.
Isn’t the point of going on the air to promote the sub? Why lock it down right when it has so much new attention?
The interview was really bad but the mod reacting to criticism by deleting and locking posts and eventually locking the subreddit caused the community to lose trust in the ability of this person as a moderator.
There's a long storied tradition of that in the US, such as farmers going armed to foreclosure auctions and preventing sales or acquiring them at pennies to return to the previous owners. Railroad workers and coal miners are two other demographics that had similar labor upheavals in recent history.
Except I wouldn't say that. Plenty of things can require violence to solve. Marxism however requires violence against my neighbor just because he has work equipment to run his small business, which is "capital" and thus verboten. Come to think of it, since their kids moved out there is no way he and his wife needs 3 bedrooms, so we need to force them into more sustainable housing as well, through violence of course.
No thanks, I'll be opting out of Marxism.
Then it’s no shocker when the interview is completely socially inept because that’s what they set up from the start.
The Fox News guy is even mocking the moderator but the mod isn’t socially aware enough to see it.
It's the progressive millennials' equivalent of the Fox News comments section.
The new sub name is arguably better aligned with the goals of the movement, and it’s remarkable to see a replacement sub gain so much traction so quickly.
1. There are two separate movements. I’d argue that people who want reform are not remotely related to people who don’t want to work.
2. Every movement will always have extreme factions that don’t necessarily align with the primary goals of the majority.
We saw plenty of #2 with Recent social movements.
